Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications. Garratt worked for DuPont Dow Elastomers, a joint venture of Dupont and Dow (global manufacturers of engineered thermoset rubber and thermoplastic elastomer materials) in market development and product management positions, culminating in a regional commercial leadership role for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our product portfolio, which we believe to be one of the most diverse in our industry, includes specialty formulated high-performance polymer materials that are manufactured using thermoplastic resins and elastomers, which are then combined with advanced polymer additives, reinforcement, filler, colorant and/or biomaterial technologies.

With PREPERM™ thermoplastics, you can easily produce complex and large high-precision parts that have tight tolerances in material characteristics​

Special additives like peroxides, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colorants and performance modifiers can be added to rPET during processing to achieve these properties and remedy cross-contamination, discoloring or any other impurities.

Polystrand™ R continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are made with a resin matrix of greater than 95% post-consumer recycled PET (rPET).

Traditionally, Carbon fiber tows were used in thermoset composite applications but are being incorporated into thermoplastics more and more.

Now the benefits of thermoplastic materials are available also for the applications traditionally produced from ceramics or thermoset plastic materials

Improve processability and reduce overall processing time – TPEs are easier to process than EPDM rubber and do not require drying like thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV), leading to a decrease in processing time and costs.

We also invested to begin thermoplastic elastomer production in Brazil, another important regional market where we’ve identified opportunities to grow and serve customers.
